Stuck on javaScript question! HELP!

Create a new function named max() which accepts two numbers as arguments. The function should return the larger of the two numbers. You'll need to use a conditional statement to test the 2 numbers to see which is the larger of the two.

Ok, It's not really difficult, you'll see.

function max(numb1,numb2){

    if(numb1 > numb2){
         return numb1;
     }
     else{
        return numb2;
      }

/*You call it this way*/

max(5,2);

}

I guess It's quite explicit, if numb1 is larger than numb2 then, return, give me back its value, else, if numb1 isn't bigger than numb2, in other words, if It's not true => else, return the value of numb2.
